Known decisions from our retained council and national planning inventory; national coverage is incomplete.

Full, partial and pending grounds are counted separately. Missing planner assessments do not hold up verified final grounds. Commission decisions, mixed grant/refusal decisions and later appeal outcomes are excluded from these council refusal totals.

Updated 09 September 2026 at 14:09 UTC. Collection and local processing continue; this edition updates only after a checked publication.

Decision inventory cutoff: 09 September 2026 at 04:36 UTC. Later document reviews can improve grounds without changing this inventory.

This refusal-only revision uses official decision dates. Earlier full-week bundles retain their original membership provenance. View the earlier published edition, where available.
